Your turn to pay homage to me
I lurve telling people that Hermes is pronounced like Herpes but with an M instead of a P. Especially just before they walk into the said brand's boutique.
I still can't get out of my mind that birkin sounds exactly like firkin..
Which even though it's not rude, sounds terribly vulgar.
wow u r evil...
digisniper: ahhh, there's a reason why hermes named the bag birkins instead of firkins.
how vulgar is firkin anyway? do you use it in the context of... are you out of your firkin mind?!?!
tigerjoe: hahaha.. if we pronounced herpes like hermes, it would be like.. air-pez. oh look... that's a bad case of genital air-pez...
air-mez....air-mez....air-pez...air-pez....wei, mind corrupted edi lar!
yvy: tigerjoe started it! hehehe! go spank him with the sampan paddle!
william wilstroth: oh that's nothing new.. this is pretty mild compared to what i'm fully capable of, trust me. *evil grin!*
Now imagine a plump rich bitchy old lady going, "OH! MY BAG IS FROM HERRPES" and having shit snobby look on her face.
Air-mez, her-meez whatever, as long as you have the moolah to buy it, who cares about the pronunciation, right? 
Eh, if I win the Lotto, I will personall ask Jimmy Choo to bring you your shoes....
snglguy: ooo yes! please do.. i love jimmy choos more than i love manolos!
mervkwok: .... yeah, and then she reaches down and starts scratching her crotch like mad. ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
btw, let's have a minute's silence in paying respect to the demise of the fire-ravaged shop opposite our respective office buildings... yes, as soon as you called, i rushed over to the balcony to have a look.
*sigh* that makes 2 fires in less than a week...it's apocalypse, i'm telling ya!
laksa: hahahahahaha. hey, i called thongs to tell her about the fire and she went "WTF?!?", and then she told me that the people in her office cracked up when they heard the fire-engines rushing out to save the day.
our office area damn happening lerr!
btw, two fires in a week is highly suspicious. could be a case of *gasp!* arson.
i can never understand why women so love to shop!
Now I can pronounce Hermis, Doncha & Kabbana, Jimny Cool....
I have no such problems. It's hard to mispronounce Gap and Top Shop.
Luckily I've got French level one to help me in those pronunciation. Shy to say, only level one. Hee.
French or Spanish, whatever that is.
Jay is right! THank God for being gay.
Paul
Fire? Arson? Are these new designer brands?
Fee-ray and Air-thoen konon.... :P
Yes, I used to say Her-meez also.
*hideface*
ditto.
iwene: sooo how's life in bed?
plink: it's okay 
we all learn from our mistakes.
paul: oh yeah. more power to cocks!
sarah y: lucky you. i only got hokkien level one.
jay: oooooo someone shops at gap and topshop! i like topshop too. oh, and fcuk. believe it or not, i've have seen people try to pronounce fcuk like it's one whole pronounceable word. geez.
che-cheh: awesome. you can be my shopping buddy!
wuching: oh man... don't go there. that's purely women's territory.
I've heard FCUK being pronounced like a mumbled foo chook. No joke.
Haiya! Pronounciation varies frm one individual to another. It all comes back to exposure. I once heard of some posh looking ah lian pronouncing GUCCI as GOO-si (cow dies). I was lik, Ewwww......face only pretty but brains down the alley of a chow kit back alley.
no.
GUCCI is pronounced GOO-CHEE.
like coochie.
ahahaha.
but with a g.
goochie.
